WASHINGTON – The signs are everywhere of an imminent “catastrophic collapse” of the U.S. health-care system that will leave Americans clamoring for medical attention, medical supplies and hospital care, says the former president of the Association of American Physicians and Surgeons.

Dr. Lee Hieb, a practicing orthopedic surgeon and author of a new book called “Surviving the Medical Meltdown,” says the evidence is mounting that Obamacare, or the Affordable Care Act, is making health care scarcer and that the worst is yet to come:   Continue reading “Medical ‘Meltdown’ Imminent, Warns Top Doctor”

During a Senate hearing examining federal law enforcement organizations’ annual budget requests, Sen. Dianne Feinstein veered off course, and took a shot at the FBI for ignoring last year’s notorious torture report.

“One of my disappointments was to learn that the six year report of the Senate intelligence committee on the detention and interrogation program sat in a locker and no one looked at it,” Feinstein told FBI Director James Comey, relaying information she had received on the whereabouts of the 6,000 page report she prepared while Chair of the Senate Intelligence Committee on the CIA’s post-9/11 torture practices.   Continue reading “Dianne Feinstein Blasts FBI for Letting Torture Report Gather Dust in Locker”

A raft of federal prosecutions has uncovered tax-fraud schemes involving the theft of Social Security numbers of U.S. prisoners, in many cases by corrections employees.

Last year alone, federal courts meted out prison sentences to an Alabama bail bondsman, two former Alabama corrections employees, a Florida corrections officer and a Georgia man, who were convicted separately of stealing the identities of more than 1,200 prisoners and claiming more than $6.5 million in tax refunds under the inmates’ names.   Continue reading “Identity Theft, Tax Fraud Snares Prisoners”

Being that I have been off-grid for the last five years and built
several small to large solar systems, I thought I would pass on what I have learned.

First, Goal Zero does make some quality stuff….never had any noteworthy problems with them. That being said – if you are going to go with their Yeti 1250, do yourself a favor and skip the Goal Zero Boulder panels and order a full sized 240-250 watt (mono or poly) solar panel. It’s a lot more bang for your buck and 250 watts is about the max the Yeti’s internal charge controller can handle.

A new study shows that there are too damn many new studies. And it’s not just a funny headline: There are real-world implications.

The study, which surely must be aware of its own irony, found that researchers are experiencing “attention decay” because of the glut of academic papers. Just like we’re overwhelmed by the bounty of the internet, researchers are forgetting important studies because they’re swimming in nonessential ones.    Continue reading “New study determines there are too many studies”

Edward Klein has a bombshell report at The New York Post about Hillary Clinton’s email scandal. According to Klein, it was President Obama’s closest adviser Valerie Jarrett who leaked the details of her email scandal to The New York Times, but did so through sources outside of the White House so it couldn’t be traced back to her. Knowing what we do about Jarrett, this certainly seems plausible.   Continue reading “Was Valerie Jarrett The One Who Leaked Hillary’s Email Scandal?”

SHTF School – by Selco

The items for trade during my SHTF very often changed value, and some of them became unavailable for some period of time, just to suddenly show up again much more expensive.

Yes, situation in the city dictated that, but also people, the black market lords made this happen. The whole situation was always changing where and if you can find what you were looking for.

Some of the items that were circulating in the city were completely new to everyone, one of the reasons was that all sorts of stuff from humanitarian aid was coming to the city through different channels and from all different parts of the world.   Continue reading “First Trades after Collapse”

The US is losing friends and influence as people overseas can see the End is Nigh for the Dollar and for Washington. The Vietnamese are allowing Russians to use former American air bases to fuel long range bombers. And the British have joined China’s Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank. The Chinese are trying to push the US out of Asia just as the US pushed Europeans out of Latin America with its Monroe Doctrine in the early 19th century.   Continue reading “Signs: America To Hit The Wall And Go Splat!!”

The formation of a bureaucratic superstructure for national intelligence will put in motion a perverse organism. The significance lies not in the figurehead or even the process for the selection, but rests in the birthing of a Medusa. Little wisdom comes out of this modern daughter of Phorkys and Keto, the children of Gaia (Earth) and Okeanos (Ocean).  This ugly creature will use the charms of seduction – national security – but will end up spreading a den of snakes. The globe will be her playpen and the seas will be her lake. No one or no place will fall outside her watch. She will run her hydra network through all those underling heads, but in the end her advice will revival that of Eve.  The mother of all evil won’t be a gender bias for any director will impose paternity over the stream of information. The children of this fraudulent union will bear the price from her wrath. Overseas enemies will feel the force of her boot. And the only creature to resist her might may well be those who run under the radar screen.    Continue reading “Spy Master a Lethal Melanoma”

How  long will it be until the United States government recognizes cannabis as a medicinal, useful plant, and not just an abused drug? You’d be interested to know that states aren’t the only ones accepting cannabis in various forms – the  U.S. government is actually closer than ever to legalizing the plant. In fact, a group of bipartisan legislators have recently made an effort to propel medical marijuana to the top, legalizing the plant for medicinal purposes and protecting those working with it from federal consequences.   Continue reading “Will Medical Marijuana Soon Be Legalized Nationwide?”

The Ukrainian armed coup was organized from Washington, Russian President Vladimir Putin stated in an interview for a new documentary aired Sunday. The Americans tried to hide behind the Europeans, but Moscow saw through the trick, he added.

“The trick of the situation was that outwardly the [Ukrainian] opposition was supported mostly by the Europeans. But we knew for sure that the real masterminds were our American friends,”Putin said in a documentary, ‘Crimea – The Way Home,’ aired by Rossiya 1 news channel.   Continue reading “Putin in film on Crimea: US masterminds behind Ukraine coup, helped train radicals”

POWHATAN COUNTY, VA — Think back to 8th grade: do you remember ever talking out loud or being “disruptive”?

A Google software problem inadvertently exposed the names, addresses, email addresses and phone numbers used to register websites after people had chosen to keep the information private.

The privacy breach involves whois, a database that contains contact information for people who’ve bought domain names. For privacy reasons, people can elect to make information private, often by paying an extra fee.   Continue reading “Google error leaks website owners’ personal information”

Americans are getting older, but not this old: Social Security records show that 6.5 million people in the U.S. have reached the ripe old age of 112.

In reality, only few could possibly be alive. As of last fall, there were only 42 people known to be that old in the entire world.   Continue reading “Say what? Social Security data says 6.5M in US reach age 112”

Marine biologists and other researchers are voicing serious concerns regarding the high mortality rate among orcas (killer whales) observed over the past couple of years.

No one has yet proven that there is a direct link between the 100 percent mortality rate seen among orca infants and the effects of the radiation contamination of the Pacific Ocean from the Fukushima reactor leak in Japan, but it certainly can’t be ruled out as a possibility.   Continue reading “West Coast orcas experiencing 100% infant mortality rate as radiation from Fukushima drifts across ocean”
